The difference between GCC-3.4.3 and 4.1.0 is minimal. The main problems I've encountered we're extra class quantifiers in C++ programs. But for all these programs a patch was easily found or created.
I notice no difference in stability or performance.

I used gcc4 to build my clfs pure64 system and most of the patches i needed were stuff that you needed for gcc 3.4 anyway. Ive acutally had more issues with x86_64 then with gcc4. So my opinion is its ok to move over. I wont however say that it will work with everything but you will probably have just as much isssues with gcc4 that you do with gcc3
